hey i have been thinkin lately. since before i bought my car i have wanted to put a v8 in it. i decided not to go with the v8, but put a v6 stroker in it. here is a list of all of the things that i have thought of that i would need to include in the whole deal. my car is an auto. it is also my daily driver. 1. 4.2 stroker bored out to .060 over from rpm mustangs. (ideas on compression ratio) 2. super six motorsports stage 2+ powerpack. 3. custom true dual, possibly out sides. 4. ratchet shifter 5. 4.10 or 3.73 gears 6. ignition 7. FR500s w/ nice tires 8. programmer of some sort to set tach, speedo, and tune my car. 9. new brakes 10. lowering springs
You need to call RPM and discuss what you want out of the stroker. He'll build it to do what you want. Stick with RPM's version of the Powerpack - his port jobs outflow most other's work. A chip can be included that will take care of the redline and other things provided it is a 99+ Mustang. Speedo in SN95's is controlled through a gear instead. Side exhaust will hinder performance because of the gas entering and exiting the same end of the muffler. If you go custom, you may want to think about Glass Packs/Purple Hornies somewhere up the line from the rugular muffler location, but I'm not sure how that will sound.
yea i have a 2000 mustang. i didn't know if that would hurt hp or not w/ having side exh. i was thinkin glasspacks but i too didn't know how it would sound.
Also look up www.moranav6racing.com, he has some really quality stuff and he even makes a 4.6 stroker just incase you wanted V8 displacement.
SOunds good! but boring out a 4.2L to .60 is a little much... go with a .30 or .40 or get a 4.4L stroker long block from www.moranav6racing.com Although I like the work that www.rpm-mustangs.com does! One more thing, straight back with the exhaust... no side pipes, it doesn't sound real good on a 6!
i just rode in a '96 s-10 with a LS1 camaro motor in it, and he has a ratchet shifter, does anyone have a picture of a 94+ mustang with a ratchet shifter?
Normally the exhaust will enter one end of a muffler, and then exit the other end. Because of where the exhaust tips must exit from under the car, the exhaust enters and exits from the same end of the muffler with two pipes connected to the same end of the muffler. No other work is done to the muffler in that the baffles inside it, and the original path of the gasses are unchanged. Therefore, some collision of the gas inside the actual muffler occurs. It's not as big a deal as you might think, but you don't get maximum performance gains as you would with a traditional exhaust.
